Obama accuses Republican rivals of dishonesty

Sarah Palin's shifting stance on the "Bridge to Nowhere" and their promise to change Washington.


"I mean, you can't just make stuff up," Obama said of a new McCain ad that says Palin "stopped the Bridge to Nowhere." "You can't just recreate yourself. You can't just reinvent yourself. The American people aren't stupid."

I wonder if anyone realizes that Governors cannot request earmark money. I mean is this really the only issue they have on her? Last I checked only Senators can get earmark money; making her support or being against it that much less important. I mean we're arguing about a bridge that only caught any spot light because of the corruption surrounding Ted Stevens. Someone correct me if I'm wrong in regards to that only Senators can request/get earmark money.
